On this day, the Greeks celebrated Panathenaia. The first festival of the year, the Panathenaea was the celebration of the city's anniversary. Beginning in the 7th century BCE, the annual festival, the Panathenaia ta mikra (Little Panathenaia), involved an impressive procession from outside the city walls to the Acropolis. This procession was represented on the frieze of the Acropolis. The main purpose of the procession was to convey the new peplos for the image of Athena, but in the classical period the festival acquired increased political importance. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #Panathenaia #Athens #July 22

Multicultural and multi-religious almanac
An almanac is a calendar showing the main dates of the calendar, the religious holidays, bearing ephemerides such as the phases of the moon or the duration of the days (lunar and solar calendars).
A calendar is a system for marking dates according to time. Such a system was invented by men to divide and organize time over long periods. The observation of the periodic phenomena of the environment in which they lived — such as the daily movement of the shadow, the return of the seasons or the lunar cycle — served as the first references for organizing the agricultural, social and religious life of societies.
The calendar used today in most of the world is the Gregorian calendar. In everyday language, an ephemeris designates what happens daily; the ephemeris of the day is the list of the significant events of this day.
